Hi all,
I've been experimenting with the configuration of IP aliases on a 2.4.19 based kernel and have run across some behavior that I suspect is a bug, but am wondering if perhaps I am just doing something wrong.
In summary, what I find is that if I start with an interface that is configured with a single IP address, then add a secondary IP address to that interface and then delete that secondary IP address so that I am now presumably back where I started, one of the internal routes generated by the kernel disappears.
To get visibility into this, I wrote a program (adopted from some code I found on another site) that sends a RTM_GETROUTE message to a NETLINK_ROUTE socket and then reads and displays the response from the kernel. That program is called route_get in the logs that follow and I've copied the source to route_get to the end of email.
The annotated console log that demonstrates the problem follows. I start with interfaces down and no IP addresses assigned:
FD21:root> ip -s -s link show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK> mtu 16436 qdisc noop
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

FD21:root> ip -s -s addr show

link/ether 00:60:69:90:02:7a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
So now I configure eth0 up, but still with no addresses:
FD21:root> ip link set dev eth0 up
FD21:root> eth0: Link status change: Link Up. 100 Mbps Half duplex Auto (autonegotiation complete).
I add the first IP address and run my route_get program to see the resultant routes:
FD21:root> ip address add 192.168.78.157/24 brd + dev eth0
FD21:root> ./route_get
nlmsg_type = 24 RTM_NEWROUTE
nlmsg_flags = 0x0

route_get displays each route in the response from the kernel in detail, followed by the short netstat style summary of the routes shown in the 4 above lines. The way I interpret the above routes, first to last, is as follows:
1) The unicast route to the directly connected subnet.
2) A broadcast route to the subnet where the broadcast address is the all 1s in the host number form.
3) The unicast route to the host's own IP address.
4) A broadcast route to the subnet where the broadcast address is the all 0s in the host number form.
So now I add the alias, an IP address on the same subnet on the same device:
FD21:root> ip address add 192.168.78.158/24 brd + dev eth0 label eth0:0
FD21:root> ip -s -s addr show

Running route_get, I see one more route has been created:

The new route (the second listed) is the unicast route to the additional IP address. All the other routes are the same. Near as I can tell so far, all this is correct.
Now I delete the secondary IP address (the alias). So now I am back to the single IP address and I would think should be in the same state as before I added the alias.

It seems like I am now missing a route, specifically number (4) from the list above:
4) A broadcast route to the subnet where the broadcast address is the all 0s in the host number form.
Is this a feature or a bug (or is this a figment of route_get)?
If this is a kernel bug, has it been previously reported?
Thanks,

Hi all,
i am including another piece of code which i have written to print the
routes
in the kernel routing table using rtnetlink. Please do let me know if there
is a better way of doing this.
